An American kestrel at a Vermont museum has emerged as an artist after it lost its ability to fly, reports UPI.
The Vermont Institute of Natural Science, informed that the bird named Ferrisburgh had been a flight ambassador at the museum until a broken bone led to his retirement, as per a UPI report.
Environmental educators at the museum, Mal Muratori and Lexie Smith, suspect that the effects of a disease brought on by the inadequate diet led to this condition of Ferrisburgh.
Smith, conceived the notion of using painting as a form of enrichment for the now-flightless Ferrisburgh.
Mealworms are used for the bird to traverse his canvas with paint on his feet, which eventually leads to the creation of unique works of art.
